Open multiple files at once with the file picker?

[alexokten]

Is it possible to open multiple files at once with the file picker? This feature would be really useful 👍🏼

[David-Else]

Yes, sort of, if you are using the latest version built from master you can select a file with alt return and it is opened in the background so you can continue picking other files.

imagine pressing <space>/ for global search in workspace, then search for something, you get multiple results from the same file and you also get results from a different file, with tab you can select exactly the results you want to select similar to what rg --vimgrep does

ah, I was only thinking of utilising file-finder-picker, the global-search-picker is also viable

fair, now suddenly this feature request seems more complicated

This would be enough !

:open file/data/*.py

This would be enough !

:open file/data/*.py  

This in my project with *.rs opens a file called *.rs * does the same

Yeah same for me, * is never treated as wildcard.
